Small Mirror Made From Old Peranakan Ceramic Tiles Option:A02955V2 and burning of butter lampsThese colourful mirrors are crafted from original Peranakan ceramic tiles dating from the 1920s, set into a bold, art deco inspired frame. The tiles themselves were made in Japan, influenced by European majolica designs, and shipped to Singapore where they became hugely popular in Peranakan homes. Their vibrant floral motifs, scrolling patterns, and glazed surfaces capture the eclectic blend of East and West that defined Peranakan decorative style.
